How Pestech of Greenville Supports Local Animal Rescue Efforts

​As a locally-owned and managed pest control company, community involvement is of the utmost importance to Pestech of Greenville, Inc. 
 
“Eastern North Carolina is our home and we are passionate about supporting nonprofits that do so much for our region,” said Chris Rhodes, founder and owner of Pestech of Greenville. “We truly appreciate the work that is done by organizations in our area and we are blessed to be able to help several by providing financial support and in-kind services.”
 
One of the many organizations that Pestech of Greenville is proud to support is the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina (HSEC). This nonprofit is a local, no-kill animal rescue facility based in Greenville. It serves counties across eastern North Carolina to serve as a safe haven for homeless and neglected pets until they find their forever homes. The organization is known for supporting special needs animals, pregnancies as well as puppies and kittens, and urgent care cases.

​“My wife and I are advocates for animal adoption and rescue efforts. We own three rescue dogs and one of them is an alumnus of the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina,” added Rhodes. “My wife, Holly, served as a member of the board of directors for several years and I am part of the organization’s Leadership Council. This local nonprofit holds a special place in our hearts.”

​Through a partnership with HSEC that has spanned over the past several years, Pestech has provided various pest control services along with organizational support. The nonprofit isn’t affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States and doesn’t receive funding from any government sources. That means that HSEC relies solely on fundraising, grants, private donations, and corporate sponsorships. Over the years, Pestech has provided quarterly pest control services and one-time services to treat specific pests at no cost. ​

“Our canines have indoor and outdoor runs which sometimes means that unwanted guests sneak in to our facility,” said Shelby Jolly, shelter director at HSEC. “We are so thankful that Pestech helps us keep the unwelcomed creatures out while protecting our dogs and cats.”

​Because of Pestech’s continuous support, Jolly says that HSEC is able to save thousands of dollars every year. With this savings, they’re putting those funds toward helping special needs animals. 
 
“We get calls daily about taking animals that need our help, whether it be a possible broken leg or a kitten with a bad upper respiratory infection,” admitted Jolly. “To be honest, we would not be able to help save these animals without the generosity of Pestech of Greenville.”
 
In addition to offering in-kind pest control services, Pestech has also served as a sponsor of various annual fundraisers for HSEC including A Night to Paws, the Canine Crawl, and Axes Benefiting Animals.

​“We cannot thank them enough for helping us save the lives of cats and dogs in eastern North Carolina. Pestech has always come to help us when we needed them and the staff is always so friendly,” added Jolly. “They are truly an amazing company that always goes above and beyond for rescue animals. We would not be able to do what we do without Pestech. They help us save the animals who need us the most.”
 
It’s a mission that is near and dear to Rhodes, which is why he encourages others to donate in-kind services to the organization and spend time volunteering at the facility. He also continues to support HSEC through personal donations and corporate sponsorships.

​“Our rescue dogs are very much part of our family. My wife and I know that they wouldn’t be with us today without the love and care that their rescues, like the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina, provided to them upon rescue and intake,” said Rhodes. “We are blessed that they came into our lives and we are truly honored to support HSEC so they can help more homeless dogs and cats find loving forever homes, just like ours did.”

Maisy was rescued from the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina in 2017. She was later adopted by the Rhodes family.
